Requirements for packages to be featured as of February 24, 2019:
- Either be a free Package or the user must be able to purchase it without needing to use or create an account with the payment processor [accounts should be made with the repo though] (NOT PayPal) [e.g. Stripe/Square/Fastspring/AliPay]
- Must be approved by either the featured package review team or by a contributor to Sileo (Sileo contributors don't need approval for their own packages)
- Must have a 16:9 ratio (1280x720 px minimum) banner that does not have the name of the package inside it
- Must have an icon (250x250 px minimum)
- Must be on either Chariz, Dynastic or Packix
- Packages must use a native depiction with a banner in the depiction
- For paid packages, there is no need to pay a cut to Sileo to get featured (payments are handled by the repo of your choice, as usual)
- Tweaks can not contain malware or other unwanted behavior
- The banner and icon should fit with iOS's design, and must display a minimum amount of effort
- Packages may be removed from featured status at the discretion of the Sileo team (e.g. if the click-through rate is too low compared to other packages)
More info about Rule 1: A user must be able to tap on a featured package and purchase it without ever creating an account outside of one with the repo. PayPal guest checkout does not count. After 15 transactions on a card, regardless of the store, the user is forced to create a PayPal account (so PayPal can proceed to screw them)
Repos status regarding rule 1:
- Chariz - Stripe support being added soon
- Dynastic - Stripe support being added soon
- Packix - Stripe already supported
